Galoogah-e Sheytan
(2011)

Picturesque but overlong.
This is the original behind aThis is the original behind a ten episode of a Netflix serial Based on the oppression of Turks in Bulgaria in the 1980s. It has beautiful scenery, Decent actors, but is overlong for an American Detective series.

It seems the Bulgarian Communist party all the time Try to stamp out individuality Of this group In part by forcing them to change their Muslim Names to Bulgarian ones. This was accompanied by property theft and murder And complex later revenge. It's hardly worth putting in a review For a series you didn't really like just to get up too The number of required characters.

Enjoyed its' novelty
I'm an old WMA philistine, a phd emeritus for God's sake! Mayday was so much more interesting than than the crap of almost all-American movies I gotta recommend it.

A Mood Changer
I'm a 79 year old Lover of science fiction. Last night, Lying alone in the darkness of South Florida, I came upon this film. It's near the height of Coronavirus. I liked The film: No danger, no violence, and an absurd looking alien Who actually helps humans. No heavy religion or spiritualist element either. Great ending too.

Firelight

UPLIFTING!
I'm a Tough, cynical Old white man. But even in these horrible Trump times, This movie about essential goodness of young imprisoned minority girls Was heart warming.

Olympus Has Fallen
(2013)

Warmongering and incredible
I hoped from the previews to see an exciting action flick with spectacular scenes, suspense, maybe some cleverness, heroism and victory in the end. Hyper violent, anti-North Korean war mongering overwhelmed any such values. North Korean "terrorists" are shown as brutal and ruthless as Nazis. American air defense is incredibly skimpy, incompetent and late. Our military leaders are weak saps who cave in to every terrorist demand with "Oh, Pleeze don't hurt our President! We'll do what you want." Our control of our own most potent weapons systems is easily overridden by one woman terrorist at a keyboard. The American SuperDuperHero single-handedly kills many of the terrorists and liberates the President. After killing the UberVillain, he even has a moment to put a bandage on the wounded President. That scene actually made me laugh.

My wife and I regret we paid to see this. Negative emotions stirred up by the film may cause bad effects, mental, such as tolerance for another preemptive war, and bodily, like raised blood pressure, heart rate, stomach acid. With tripe like this, if you liked the wars against Viet Nam, Serbia, and Iraq, you'll probably love our wars on Iran and "Second Korea."
